Oh I used to love you

But now that's hard to do

'Cause I got some information

'Bout the evil things at night that you do

Now the whole thing is through (we're through)

Oh you're such a devil

How'd you get me to believe you were true

Oh my momma warned me

And how my daddy cried

The day I left my home

You said you'd always keep me satisfied

But oh how you lied (you lied)

Well I should have heard my momma's words

But then I guess I had to much pride (original sin)

I used to lie awake at night

And see your face on the ceilin'

What a bad a feelin' I have

When I think of how you almost got me

In the ways of the world

In the ways of the world

My so-called friends said I misjudged you

My anger's all in vain

But I'm afraid you got to them

Before I had a chance to explain

And it caused me such pain (ouch!)

'Cause they were such good friends of mine

But now you've got them playin' you game (you creep)

I used to lie awake at night

And see your face on the ceilin'

What a bad a feelin' I have

When I think of how you almost got me

In the ways of the world

In the ways of the world

Well I believe in Jesus

And what he said he's gonna do

He'll put an apple in your lyin mouth

And cook you in a sulfer stew

One that'll never be through

(Is it soup yet? No)

Ah, but if he hadn't rescued me

Then I'd be down there cookin' too

Oh if Jesus hadn't rescued me

Then I'd be cookin' right next to you

I used to lie awake at night

And see your face on the ceilin'

What a great feelin' I have

When I think of how you're gonna get yours

At the end of the world

At the end of the world

Oh at the end of the world
